Mayra Sotelo
Currently Accepting New Clients | Bilingual Therapy in English & Spanish Hello, I’m Mayra.
I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker, fluent in English and Spanish, with over 17 years of experience in the mental health field.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally drained, or unsure how to move forward? Perhaps you’re navigating relationship challenges, divorce, grief, a major life transition, or simply trying to better understand yourself and your emotions. You don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m Mayra, a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), first-generation Mexican Latina, with more than 17 years of experience in mental health. I provide therapy in English and Spanish and offer a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and accepted. As a first-generation Mexican Latina, I understand how culture, family, identity, expectations, and life experiences can shape the way we see ourselves and navigate challenges. I provide culturally responsive therapy that honors your unique story, values, strengths, and goals. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and communication concerns, divorce and separation, grief and loss, life transitions, self-esteem challenges, and family or cultural concerns. My approach is warm, collaborative, and client-centered. Together, we can explore what you’re experiencing, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, develop healthy coping strategies, and work toward meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you. I understand that starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you grew up in a family or culture where mental health wasn’t openly discussed. Therapy can be a space where you don’t have to be the strong one or have all the answers. You can come exactly as you are. If you’re ready for support, healing, and positive change, I would be honored to walk alongside you. Currently accepting new clients. I invite you to reach out and take the first step toward feeling better and creating meaningful change. — Mayra, LCSW
First session
During our first session, my primary goal is to help you feel comfortable and supported as we begin to build a therapeutic relationship. The first session is just the beginning of a journey we’ll take together and you’re not expected to figure everything out in one meeting. We’ll move at a pace that feels right for you.
Strengths
I believe one of my greatest strengths is my ability to genuinely connect with my clients. I bring warmth, authenticity, and appropriate humor into the therapy space to help clients feel comfortable and at ease. As someone who has also been on my own therapy journey, I deeply understand the courage it takes to seek support. This personal insight allows me to approach my work with empathy, humility, and compassion.
Ideal clients
I am passionate about helping individuals overcome challenges, build resilience, and achieve their personal goals. I am fully committed to providing a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where my clients feel empowered to grow and thrive.
